JTabbedPane tab order problem

I'm using a JTabbedPane in WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT mode. I want to sort my tabs in alphabetical order but can't get it to work.

What I *want* is top to bottom, left to right ordering like this:

ABC

DEF

GHI

but if I add the tabs in sorted order, I get a layout that looks like this:

GHI

DEF

ABC

If I reverse the sort order before adding the tabs, it's closer, but still not right:

BCA

FED

IHG

Is it possible to get the result I'm looking for with JTabbedPane?
